pre-season news

Hi Guys,
another one of those glorious Hockey emails that you will be receiving in abundance from me this year!

1) Good news, BBQ is on this Saturday, starting around 5 (so some of the older Farts can get home early for bed!). Actually its so some with younger family members can get them home early, but you older ones can kick on late if you want.

Its starting to get cooler in the evenings over here, so bring a warm top (and something to cover those legs nuts).

Bring some stuff, i.e. meat, salad , drink etc. BBQ will go on as long as people want to eat/drink etc.

We are at 111a Johnsons Rd (here's the link to Google maps wayne and ainsleys place!

You go through Silverstream and head over blue mountains hill , then at the intersection of that and Whiteman's valley rd (which is a sharp left) go straight ahead through the gap in the trees (that's Johnsons rd). We are the last letterboxes on left hand side of Johnsons Rd, (three in a row), then go right to the very end of the gravel drive.

You can follow the signs to the Short straw cafe, we are about 500 metres past it on john sons rd. If unsure ring for directions, 04 528 8117

2) Club day was Saturday,and for all those that didn’t come to club day last weekend (and I wouldn’t know cause I couldn’t turn up) you can fill out an application form online naenae club registration form 2010

A reminder also that we have changed the fee structure for this season. We now require a deposit (to be paid at registration) or a financial arrangement to be made upon registration. The deposit is $100 for senior subscriptions and $30 for junior subscriptions.

With the success of the early bird discounts last year, we are going to encourage them again this year. Senior subscriptions are $350 for early birds (if you pay in full by the 31st March) otherwise $365. School subscription are for college age students only (it does not include tertiary students) and are set at $250.

I will get the bank details because you can do deposits etc online.

3) Shirts - it appears we may have brokered a deal to get the normal club shirts, (the red Lotto ones) with names etc on for same price as i was quoted elsewhere (about $55 each).

Please advise size, preferred number and name for back, note name only to be up to 6 or so letters, i.e. Gok, Nuts, Legs, Needle, trapper etc

I think that's all for now, see you on Saturday.
